The New York Giants might not have the answers to the endless stream of questions facing the quarterback room, upper management, and rudderless operation in the home stretch. But they’ll be damned if they aren’t going to try and find some answers. On Tuesday, the Giants claimed former Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich off of waivers. © Chris Pedota, NorthJersey.com / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Dulcich, a third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, was largely knocked off course by a series of hamstring injuries. Dulcich hasn’t played since Denver’s Week 4 win over the New York Jets, but he hasn’t logged a catch since Week 2. He has generated 12 targets for five catches and 28 yards in 2024. Related: Chris Manhertz Shining Despite Giants' Struggles It isn’t immediately clear what role he’ll play in the tight end room and how soon he’ll get on the field. Rookie Theo Johnson has taken the starting job with meager returns, and Chris Manhertz’ role should be solidified due to his proclivities as a blocker. If someone is getting ousted from the room, it will likely be Daniel Bellinger, who entered camp as the presumed starter and has since played the 17th-most snaps on New York’s offense. Dulcich, who ran a 4.69-second 40-yard dash as a prospect, has legitimate traits to live as a receiving threat over the middle of the field. As a rookie, it seemed like they would eventually come to fruition. Despite subpar quarterbacking, Dulcich posted 411 yards and two scores in just 10 games in 2022. Don’t expect to see Dulcich on Thanksgiving duty against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday. But as things continue to unravel, he could very well play a sizable role down the stretch.
